However, in another embodiment (not shown), theperipheral wall 22 is not orthogonal to thecover panel 21 and thebottom wall 24, but is inclined outward or inward at an inclination angle of 5 to 15 degrees with respect to thebottom wall 24. In other words, any structure with the area of the chamber opening larger or smaller than the area of thebottom wall 24 or any horizontal cross-section of the chamber parallel to thebottom wall 24 also falls within the scope of the invention. - The chamber is configured to accommodate the plurality of electronic components, and the plurality of electronic components are installed on the
bottom wall 24. In one preferred embodiment, theelectrical equipment 10 further includes amiddle panel 5, and part of the plurality of electronic components may be installed on anupper surface 51 and/or a lower surface of themiddle panel 5 first. Then, in the process of assembling the components into theelectrical equipment 10, the electronic components and themiddle panel 5 are placed into the chamber through the chamber opening in avertical direction 91, and an edge of themiddle panel 5 is joined and fastened to theperipheral wall 22. In the present embodiment, thecover panel 21, themiddle panel 5, and thebottom wall 24 are all orthogonal to theperipheral wall 22. At the end of the assembly process, thecover panel 21 is placed on the chamber in thevertical direction 91 to close the chamber opening, and the area of thecover panel 21 is slightly larger than or equal to the area of the chamber opening. In the state where the chamber opening is closed by thecover panel 21, thecover panel 21 is joined to other parts of thehousing 2 only at anupper edge 23 of theperipheral wall 22. Further, a part of the cover panel 21 (for example, an edge of the cover panel 21) is fastened to theupper edge 23 of theperipheral wall 22. - In one embodiment, the thicknesses of the
cover panel 21, theperipheral wall 22, themiddle panel 5, and thebottom wall 24 are 3 mm, 5 mm, 5 mm, and 5 mm, respectively. The material of thecover panel 21, theperipheral wall 22, themiddle panel 5, and thebottom wall 24 may be one of the following materials: plastic, aluminum, copper, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, magnesium alloy, and zinc alloy. In addition, thecover panel 21, theperipheral wall 22, themiddle panel 5, and thebottom wall 24 may be made of different materials. The invention is not intended to limit the thickness or material of each part of thecover panel 21, theperipheral wall 22, themiddle panel 5, and/or thebottom wall 24. - The plurality of electronic components may include a printed circuit board (PCB) module, a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller, an error amplifier, an oscillator, a short circuit protection circuit, an output transistor, etc. The invention is not intended to limit the types of the electronic components included in the plurality of electronic components.
- In one embodiment, the
upper surface 51 and/or the lower surface of themiddle panel 5 installed with the electronic components may have one or more shallow grooves and/or corresponding low protrusions. The shape of the inner wall of the grooves matches the external shape of part of the plurality of electronic components, so as to accommodate and fasten the electronic components. - Further, the
middle panel 5 includes at least one first fastening element for joining and fastening themiddle panel 5 to theperipheral wall 22. Theperipheral wall 22 may further include at least one second fastening element to cooperate with the at least one first fastening element to fasten themiddle panel 5 to theperipheral wall 22. In one embodiment, the at least one first fastening element is a protruding fastening part formed at the edge of themiddle panel 5, and the at least one second fastening element is a groove or a fastening hole located in theperipheral wall 22. The shape of the inner wall of the groove or the fastening hole matches the external shape of the protruding fastening part, which allows the groove or the fastening hole to accommodate the protruding fastening part, thereby joining and fastening themiddle panel 5 to theperipheral wall 22. Thus, themiddle panel 5 is located between thecover panel 21 and thebottom wall 24, and is substantially parallel to thecover panel 21 and thebottom wall 24. - The
middle panel 5 divides the chamber into anupper chamber 3a and a lower chamber, and also divides theperipheral wall 22 into an upperperipheral wall 22a and a lower peripheral wall. The upperperipheral wall 22a includes the above-describedupper edge 23 and is not connected to thebottom wall 24. The length of the upperperipheral wall 22a is h, which is for example 80 mm. In the state where the chamber opening is closed by thecover panel 21, the length h is the distance between thecover panel 21 and themiddle panel 5, and theupper chamber 3a becomes a hollow chamber having the depth h. In one embodiment, the depth h of theupper chamber 3a may be only 1/4 of the overall depth of the chamber. That is, theupper chamber 3a is a flat chamber, as shown inFIG. 1 . In addition, since theupper chamber 3a between thecover panel 21 and themiddle panel 5 is a hollow chamber, and between thecover panel 21 and thehousing 2, there is no other element to support thecover panel 21 except for theupper edge 23 described above, when theelectrical equipment 10 is operating, thecover panel 21 may generate vibration. For example, thecover panel 21 may vibrate toward the inside or outside of theupper chamber 3a in thevertical direction 91, which easily causes NVH problems in theelectrical equipment 10. The situation described above also occurs easily when theelectrical equipment 10 does not include themiddle panel 5. That is, the chamber between thecover panel 21 and thebottom wall 24 is one hollow chamber and is not divided into theupper chamber 3a and the lower chamber by themiddle panel 5. In such a case, the situation that thecover panel 21 vibrates toward the inside or outside of the chamber as described above is also likely to occur. The vibration-dampingmodule 7 of the invention is configured to improve or eliminate the above-described NVH problems. - The vibration-damping
module 7 is installed on the support panel and configured to support thecover panel 21. The support panel may be themiddle panel 5 or thebottom wall 24. The vibration-dampingmodule 7 includes at least one support element 65, which is installed inside the chamber at a distance from theperipheral wall 22. The at least one support element 65 is installed on anupper surface 51 of the support panel. In one preferred embodiment (as shown inFIG. 1 to FIG. 3 ), the support panel is themiddle panel 5. In another embodiment (not shown), the support panel is thebottom wall 24. An edge of the support panel is fastened to theperipheral wall 22. The height of the at least one support element 65 is equal to a distance between the support panel and thecover panel 21. In the embodiment ofFIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the height of the at least one support element 65 is equal to the depth h of theupper chamber 3a. - Specifically, the
upper surface 51 includes asupport area 55 for installing the at least one support element 65 thereon. Furthermore, thesupport area 55 is located in a central area of the upper surface 51 (thecentral area 55 shown inFIG. 1 ), and there is a distance d between aboundary 57 of thesupport area 55 and theperipheral wall 22. The distance d is the minimum distance between the position of the at least one support element 65 and theperipheral wall 22. Further, the value of the distance d may be determined according to the number of the at least one support element 65 and/or the length and/or width of the support panel. For example, in one embodiment, the distance d may be 1/3 of the length or width of themiddle panel 5. The reason for setting the distance d is that the edge of thecover panel 21 is properly supported by theupper edge 23, so the at least one support element 65 does not need to be too close to the upperperipheral wall 22a (that is, the at least one support element 65 does not need to be too close to the edge of the middle panel 5). The at least one support element 65 may include a plurality of support elements 65, which are equally spaced apart from each other. - In one embodiment, the at least one support element 65 includes at least one
protrusion support area 55 of theupper surface 51 of the support panel (for example, themiddle panel 5 in the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ). In one embodiment, the at least oneprotrusion protrusion protrusion vertical direction 91 may be 20 mm. The height of the at least oneprotrusion cover panel 21. In the embodiment ofFIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the height of the at least oneprotrusion upper chamber 3a. - In addition, the at least one
protrusion FIG. 1 , each of the twoprotrusions first support end 61a and asecond support end 61b. Thefirst support end 61a of each of theprotrusions support area 55 of theupper surface 51 of the support panel (middle panel 5). For example, as shown inFIG. 1 , the first support ends 61a are attached to theboundary 57 of thesupport area 55. In another embodiment (not shown), thefirst support end 61a of each of theprotrusions support area 55 farther from theboundary 57. Thesecond support end 61b of each of theprotrusions FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 ) of thecover panel 21 during the assembly process. In comparison with thecover panel 21 and themiddle panel 5, the areas of thefirst support end 61a and thesecond support end 61b are very small, and the distance between the two support ends 61a and 61b is the height of the at least oneprotrusion protrusion 6a and thefirst support end 61a andsecond support end 61b thereof are shown inFIG. 2 and FIG. 3 . Although theprotrusion 6b is not shown inFIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , theprotrusion 6b has substantially the same structure as theprotrusion 6a. - In one embodiment, after the at least one
protrusion protrusion protrusion protrusion protrusion protrusion upper surface 51 of the support panel is thefirst support end 61a having a ring shape, as shown inFIG. 1 to FIG. 3 . - When a part of the
cover panel 21 is fastened to theperipheral wall 22 to bring thecover panel 21 and the at least one support element 65 into contact with each other, thecover panel 21 and the at least one support element 65 exert a stress on each other. Therefore, the at least one support element 65 supports thecover panel 21 properly. - Thus, when the
electrical equipment 10 is operating, the at least one support element 65 (for example, theprotrusions cover panel 21 under normal external excitation, thereby reducing or completely eliminating the vibration of thecover panel 21. In other words, the at least one support element 65 effectively improves or eliminates the NVH problems of theelectrical equipment 10 described above. - In addition, the vibration-damping
module 7 further includes anauxiliary element 8 configured to fasten the at least one support element 65 to thelower surface 211 of thecover panel 21, thereby reducing or eliminating possible relative displacement between thecover panel 21 and the at least one support element 65. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 , theauxiliary element 8 includes anadhesive layer 82 which is disposed on thesecond support end 61b of the at least oneprotrusion vertical direction 91 to attach and fasten thesecond support end 61b of the at least oneprotrusion lower surface 211 of thecover panel 21. - Specifically, the
adhesive layer 82 is made of a soft and slightly flexible material, and therefore is able to absorb at least part of the vibration of thecover panel 21 and reduce or even eliminate possible relative displacement between thecover panel 21 and the at least one support element 65. In one embodiment, the material of theadhesive layer 82 may be an adhesive sealant glue, such as DOWSIL® 7091™ or LOCTITE® 5970™ (the latter is a silicone sealant glue). In addition, since the thickness of theadhesive layer 82 between thesecond support end 61b of the at least oneprotrusion lower surface 211 of thecover panel 21 is very small, the thickness of theadhesive layer 82 is negligible. -
FIG. 3 shows that, in another embodiment, theauxiliary element 8 may include abolt 85, and thelower surface 211 of thecover panel 21 has abolt slot 88 corresponding to thebolt 85. A thread shape of the inner wall of thebolt slot 88 matches an external thread shape of thebolt 85. - The vibration-damping module of the invention can be applied to various existing electrical equipment to greatly reduce the NVH problems of the electrical equipment. In a Modal Hammer Test, existing electrical equipment without the vibration-damping module of the invention was prepared as a control group, and electrical equipment with the vibration-damping module of the invention was prepared as an experimental group for conducting a modal analysis to test the effectiveness of the vibration-damping module of the invention in reducing or eliminating the NVH problems generated by the electrical equipment during operation. The electrical equipment of each of the experimental group and the control group was an inverter weighing 7.3 kg. The cover panels of the two inverters were both 500 grams and made of aluminum. The first modal frequency of the cover panel of the control group was only 220 Hz. In contrast, the first modal frequency of the experimental group rose to 450 Hz, which was closer to a target frequency of 500 Hz. The speed/amplitude of the vibration of the cover panel of the experimental group was reduced by 40% compared with the control group, which means that the vibration-damping module of the invention effectively reduces or eliminates the NVH problems generated by the electrical equipment during operation.
- The vibration-damping module and the electrical equipment of the invention have several advantages. First, the manufacturing cost of the vibration-damping module is low, and the vibration-damping module is easy to install. The vibration-damping module may be installed on the middle panel or the bottom wall inside the electrical equipment without increasing the occupied space, and there is no need to greatly change the internal or external structure of the electrical equipment. Therefore, the processes of manufacturing the electrical equipment and assembling the components are very simple and do not increase the cycle time cost of production of the electrical equipment. In addition, the implementation of the vibration-damping module does not impair the waterproofness of the electrical equipment.
- Nevertheless, the above are merely preferred embodiments of the invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, it is possible to make various improvements or modifications without departing from the principles of the invention, and such improvements or modifications also fall within the scope of the invention.
